Cottage retreat 1/2 block to beach & bike path! Includes 2 bikes. Bring the dog!

Thanks for looking at our vacation cottage!

This is a four seasons home that is ready to keep you warm through a U.P. winter storm or welcome you in the summer to a cool lake breeze.

At 414 SF, this house is sized for a couple looking to escape to the U.P. We are pet friendly, so bring your dog! There is a $95 pet fee so please be sure to include "pets" with the number of people staying. Pets are people too! :) We will consider a second pet for an additional $95 per stay.

The home is located in Marquette's historic East Side and is only a half block to the most popular beach in Marquette. From Spring through Fall, the rental includes two 3 speed cruiser bikes. With the bike path less than a 30 second pedal away, it's up to you to decide if you want to go to Presque Isle Park, the Third Street Village, the downtown restaurants or Farmer's Market, or maybe the brew pubs after a full day on the beach, mountain biking, or skiing.

The home has been decorated with a mix of whimsy and local history. It has a comfortable queen sized bed, air conditioner, new furnace, and washer and dryer. Please note that the bathroom is small, as shown in the photos. While most find the bathroom manageable, if you are a larger/taller person or have mobility issues you might have a difficult time.

The home also includes WiFi and Netflix.

The patio doors in the living room open to a deck and a private backyard. The deck has a patio set and deck chairs.

The private backyard is fenced in with convenient access from the patio doors. The home is pet-friendly and allows up to two dogs for an additional $95 per dog per stay. (Because the VRBO billing system only accounts for one dog, please let us know if you will be bringing two dogs and we will add the additional charge to your reservation.) Pets are not allowed on the furniture and bed and we do ask that you clean up after your dog after he uses the yard with the disposable doggie bags that are provided in the shed.

This house is a carriage house, which means it shares the property with another house. The other house is occupied by quiet long-term renters. The driveway is shared with the long-term renters but your home has its own allotted parking space and has its own private fenced in backyard.

We are locals and live just a block away! We are happy to help you make the most of your stay. We don't think you'll find a better location in Marquette and look forward to hearing from you!

This little house was just right for the two of us to spend a few days in Marquette. We were very lucky to have mostly sunny days and really enjoyed the back deck. The place is private, quiet and close to the beach and lakeshore path!

Greg and Kate's little lakeside cottage in Marquette was an awesome place to stay. It was super comfortable, immaculately clean, and in a great location. We had a great stay and would stay again in a heartbeat.

A lovely little cottage! Loved the neighborhood, and loved the yard! Lovely flowers and a great roomy back yard! Next time I will bring the dog! The hosts were very gracious; added a lot of little "special touches" for guests' visits.

Camping Respite
Cozy cottage was a welcome respite to re-group between our camping in the porkies and pictured rocks area. We were able to re-stock groceries in town take showers (yay!) and do laundry. Maybe we should bring our dog next time since he would do very well here in this dog friendly house!

Cute and Cozy Cottage!
What a great little space! Had everything I needed for a quick business trip. And it was very cozy on a very cold night. I hope to come back in the summertime, or sooner; it’s right across the road from Lake Superior. Definitely recommend!

Cottage Retreat . . .
We were up for the Beer Fest and loved the cute, little cottage and its location. I thoroughly enjoyed the beach a 1/2 block away. The private back patio was very nice and relaxing! It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend so I definitely got my steps in. Thank you for the welcome gifts! Until next time . . .

All went well
The cottage was nice, although a bit small. The bathroom was very tight. Extremely convenient to the beach(1/2 block) and downtown 1/2 mile. Everything we needed was provided and the host was always available if we encountered any problems. We would recommend this cottage to others seeking to stay in the Marquette area.
